RIP CURL ELASTO ZIP FREE 4/3 | ZIP-FREE WETSUIT

Rip Curl Elasto Zip Free 4/3: total freedom without a zipper

The Rip Curl Elasto Zip Free 4/3 carries the legacy of Elasto technology — the world's first 100% elastic wetsuit, created by Rip Curl in 1995 — into a suit designed for surfing in cold-to-cool waters without the zipper costing you a single degree of mobility. Zipperless entry, extreme stretch neoprene, and warmth exactly where you need it most.

WHY THIS SUIT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

• Zipperless chest entry system: eliminates the weakest point of any wetsuit and improves water tightness.
• Elastomax neoprene with unlimited stretch to maintain a full range of motion while paddling and turning.
• Quick-dry thermal lining in the core, ideal for multiple sessions in a row without having to put on a wet suit.
• Pre-formed kneepads and reinforced seams to withstand intensive use season after season.

TECHNICAL FEATURES

• Thickness — 4 mm in torso and legs, 3 mm in arms, a balance between warmth and flexibility for cold-to-cool waters.
• Entry system — Zip Free chest entry with internal adjustment cord, no external zipper.
• Neoprene — Elastomax, Rip Curl's Elasto technology with four-way stretch.
• Inner lining — Quick-dry thermal in the chest, back, and legs.
• Kneepads — Reinforced, pre-formed panel on both knees for added durability.
• Internal pocket — Key compartment with closure.
• Cuffs — Sealed at ankles and wrists to minimize water entry.

ADVICE FROM OUR EXPERTS

The Zip Free entry is through the neck: put your legs and arms in calmly first, adjust the internal chest cord, and tuck the panel in well before closing the neck. It takes a little more getting used to than a chest zip for the first few wears, but as soon as you get the hang of it, you gain a second-skin feeling that you won't find in a suit with a zipper.

RIP CURL GUARANTEE — THE SEARCH

Rip Curl was born in 1969 in Torquay, Australia, founded by Doug Warbrick and Brian Singer, with one obsession: to manufacture the equipment they needed themselves to surf more and better. That same obsession led the brand to create, in 1995, the first 100% elastic wetsuit in history: the original Elasto. Today, Rip Curl has been a Certified B Corp since 2023 and has kept its "The Search" philosophy alive since 1992, in addition to promoting initiatives like Earth Day. Core Surfing Shop is an official Rip Curl distributor in Spain, with the brand's official guarantee on all its products.

USE AND CARE

• Rinse the suit with fresh water after each session, both inside and out.
• Hang the suit on a wide hanger, never on a thin hook, so as not to deform the shoulders.
• Dry it in the shade, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Do not fold or store it wet for long periods.
• To put it on and take it off, use thin gloves or a plastic bag on your feet and hands to avoid damaging the neoprene with your nails.
